If I could give 10 stars to this place I would. We needed to get our daughter a new passport but…read morebecause she's a minor the only option is to go in person. We called multiple places close to home including post offices and some did not answer or are fully booked for weeks. I found online that Village of Palmetto Bay has this service, so I did the appt online but had availability after school starts, my husband called and spoke to Melissa who was just amazing and beyond with answering our questions. We were able to get an earlier appointment and came in today, and met Melissa in person and she was kind as can be. During our visit today Idalmys was the clerk who helped us and she was wonderful. She took our daughters picture and assisted us wonderfully. This was the best passport experience and overall service we've ever had.

Parts of the Village are 5 stars and parts are 1 star so I give them an average of 3…read more Those parts aren't based on geography. The first part is friendly neighbors, nice parks, great schools and lots of activities. The second part is selfishness, self-centeredness and an older retired population who thinks they can will change into not happening. Its the residents who make this place wonderful and awful at the same time. There are some residents who wish to keep everyone else out. Out of their schools. Out of their parks. Off their roads. Out of their canals. The problem with this line of thinking, besides the inherit classism (if not racism) and selfishness, is that A) you can't and B) hey don't belong to Palmetto Bay to begin with. They are county schools. County parks. Public and county roads. County (and sometimes larger) waterways. We need to build the bridges on SW 87th Ave and SW 77th Ave, among others, to connect the county roads. Its county roads, county bridges built with county money and yet a small population of selfish residents managed to block that bridge. Apparently they can push the traffic that belongs on their county road onto their neighbors that live on tiny side streets and not lose a bit a sleep. They also want to install no turn signs, speed bumps and even talk about walls to keep everyone out... while they turn around and drive north through Pinecrest without a second thought. They found 2 manatees (who have since gone back into the bay) and tried to ban motorboats. But the real intention was clear by the comments made. They consider the canal an extension of their backyard and want more privacy. It's a public waterway; if you want privacy, build a fence or don't buy on a canal. I've seen some residents complain about Southwood Mid and Perrine Academy of the Arts being Magnet schools, because they should be for Palmetto Bay students only. But they turn around and send their kids to Coral Reef High or even further to New World and DASH. It would be one thing if it was just a few residents but, to give these residents their credit, they are loud, well organized and show up. So they get a say in council. Some of these "Not-in-my-backyard" thoughts become official Village of Palmetto Bay town council opinions. There is so much good and so much bad rolled into one community. Welcome to Palmetto Bay.

I've been here a few times over the years, always for the Air Show. I like the show a lot, and the…read morebase is always organized; the exhibition of planes on the ground is also very nice. It was well organized since before the base stopped having the air shows after the hurricane hit it and then covid and all... but since they restarted it's even better. The vendors are a bit overpriced... which in "event vendors talk" translated into "prices are fair, but more expensive than in the real world". The security, as you might expect on a military base, is pretty tight. the port-a-potties are extremely well organized (you can't really call them "clean" in an event this magnitude, but they are as close to be as you're going to find. Three things: 1) wear sunscreen, and 2) BRING A CHAIR. Also, if you are sensitive to loud noises, 3) bring earplugs... planes make noise. supersonic planes make more noise... and cars with plane rockets are even noisier... I used to think no one needed this to be told to them, but I was wrong.

Needed information on property appraising, so I went by the South Dade Gov't Center yesterday to…read moresee if I could speak with someone for advice. Went to the 2nd floor, to the Property Appraiser's Office, which was crowded with people waiting to be seen. I said excuse me to the employee to ask my question (she had glasses and brown hair, was working on 2/22 around 2pm), and she was extremely rude. She said I had to sign in. I said I don't know where to sign in, and I only had one question, and based on her answer I don't even know if it would make sense signing in and waiting. She said she didn't have time to answer questions, and that when people ask her one question, it's usually followed by 3 or 5 more questions. Very rude, dismissive and curt. I understand you're busy, but you're in the customer service business. It pays to be kind! Especially as a government employee.
